he asked what we like i like mine black cause it goes with the silver...and to tell you the truth lower your car first...no matter what any car looks good lowered, at least thats what i did...not only that but once you get your rims your car wont look like a 4x4 it will already look lowered =]

You can paint the trim pieces, but they're plastic, so it's hard to get the paint to be somewhat permanent and look good. You'd need the right primer, and if using a spraygun, you'd want a flex additive to keep the paint from cracking and peeling.

Personally, I'd just shave the door moldings (leave the indentation where they go, just shave the holes), keep the side skirts black, and throw an unpainted front lip on it (and of course lower it).

Personally, I would go with black; it would help make the black accents (door moldings, side skirts, etc.) look less out of place. Also, you could do an all-out silver/black theme with black wheels; carbon fiber hood/trunk lid, carbon fiber front lip, OEM fogs with carbon fiber covers, 15% window tint, etc.

Motegi Wheels Are Horrible and overdone IMO but they are usually in white 17" by ricers...
